Travel (International)

Travel to, between, or within countries ‘outside’ the United States and its territories and possessions, as well as Canada and Mexico is considered foreign travel. On federally funded trips to Mexico (except when using NSF funds), federal foreign travel guidelines should be followed rather than domestic guidelines. Foreign travel often requires prior approval by a granting agency. In addition, travel restrictions may be included in the terms and conditions of individual awards. It is the responsibility of the department business office to determine if the funding is federal, as this will dictate that U.S. Flag Carrier compliance must be achieved and documented.
